UMA Roadmap for 2016

Having pushed its first major release (Version 1.0) and its first patch release (Version 1.0.1) out the door in 2015, in 2016 the UMA Work Group has been examining developer, deployer, and user demand for improvements; the business and legal elements in the "access federation" equation; and implications of the newest trends, such as smart contracts, IoT, and blockchain.

The following matrix represents the prioritized workload of the 2016 effort of the WG. The "hashtags" in the use-case column headers are labels in our GitHub issues list (#trust was the only existing one prior to 2016). The general #V2.0 label represents GitHub issues targeted for closure with the UMA V2.0 specs in early 2017.

If you are interested to contribute to the Work Group's efforts, we are happy to welcome you – see the wiki home page for information on joining as a participant. Note that we have a Legal Subgroup as well.
